Acorns revised its FDIC insurance disclosures for Acorns Checking accounts. Previously, the policy stated that Acorns Checking itself was not FDIC-insured but that balances were insured up to $250,000 per depositor through partner banks. The updated language clarifies that all balances held with Lincoln Savings Bank or nbkc bank, including those in Acorns Checking accounts, are insured up to $250,000 per depositor, and adds that jointly owned funds receive separate $250,000 coverage per owner. The policy also expanded the ATM network description from generic language to specify "over 55,000 fee-free ATMs" and reorganized fee disclosure language.
